Annually the Emirates Skills National Competition attracts National youth, both young men and women, to compete in 9 subcategories and be evaluated and judged by a technical committee and internationally accredited experts.

In addition to the significant rewards, the winners will be provided with extensive applied training programs related to their skills. The training programs comprise workshops designed to develop new skills among competitors which are needed for them to be eligible to join the National team and compete in the World Skills competition. This international competition attracts the highest achievers in more than 40 international categories and offers them a platform on which to compete with each other. It will be held in United Kingdom in 2011 and in Germany in 2013.
